Study Summary

The investigators' aim is to test the prediction that sweet taste perception enhances the ability of nicotine to induce neural plastic changes in brain reward circuits to increase the saliency, liking and brain reactivity to the sight and vaporized flavor of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes).

Primary Outcome

At baseline and 2 days post exposure, subjects will rate 'liking' using the general Labeled Hedonic Scale (LHS). The LHS is a vertical line scale with quasi-logarithmic spaced, with the label 'most imaginable dislike' in the bottom to 'most imaginable like' in the top, with the label 'neutral' in the middle (recoded to range of -100 to +100).
